I've watched 100's of bow drill videos, but this one has inspired me to try one out. I'll be in Ohio for a couple of weeks and that's where my first bow drill experience will take place. Thank you Andrew!
@@greekveteran2715 I agree with you partially. You can’t put as much force and pressure on shoe laces as you can with good cordage. Along with laces now days suck complete garbage.
I disagree with those who don't appreciate having good rope and cordage. I made all the rope I'll ever make when I was in the real scouts for my merit badge. The crappiest dollar store rope is twice as good as what anybody can make from vines in the woods. Thanks for the video ❤
Our experience isn't the same. I've made basic 2 strand cord that I could not break by hand... Twist, over twist, twist. I can easily break dollar store stuff.
I use my Grandpa's ancient hatchet. It was old when he used it in the 1960's and 70's. The head might be one pound but, I hung it on a 24" handle. Thanks Andrew.
It's nice to know that you could make do with just those three items but again the point is made that if people were willing to carry five or six items or 10 its that they would be well prepared. Although realistically the small axe but not exactly be an easy everyday carry item but but if one has a pack whether it's inside or outside it's really not that big an object
Get a Gränförs mini hatchet. All you need for daily carry. Can be put in large cargo pockets if need be. Or sling through belt. Also if you need to break a bigger log too big for it, notch around where you want it severed with an axe, and you don't have to go all the way through. Then find a forked tree and bend and break at that point. As you will find it is all you need save Boreal North in Winter. I have six Gränsfors axes, from American felling to the mini, I use the mini the most.
I appreciate how you mix military survival skills and bushcraft skills. I never went to SERE school but being an infantryman I can appreciate good fieldcraft skills and sometimes it was just a little ingenuity that made my time in the field less miserable. If I knew then what I knew now I would have been a much more comfortable grunt.
Great video. I have yet to master the bow drill so if I had exactly the gear you showed I would have opened the cap on that cordage keeper and been like, "A BIC lighter? How did that get there? Oh, well, I've got it so may as well use it!" 😊
Knowing the propensity for G Is to gain a small advantage, such as your preparing your tinder bundle ahead of time in SERE training, without really breaking the rules of a test, did you have a minimum quantity of water that you had to boil? Nice work with the hatchet. How are the folks from your hometown getting with the recovery from the flood?
The beauty of your videos is that you show us the many different ways we can survive and in a variety of scenarios. Of course we'd love to bring our whole kit with us, but there's always the "what if?" What if you lose your pack? What if you got confused and got lost? Now you would have to work with what you have. Thank you, Andrew, for showing us different possibilities. You help us learn and expand our knowledge. That knowledge is power. Bless you, sir. ❤
Really love this channel. Simple explanation as to what, and why. Not fear, not exaggeration just plain facts. There are dozens of 'survival' types on youtube but I bet most of them wouldn't be able to actually survive without ipad, comfy pillows, GPS, lighters etc. You show us what you actually need and what to do with it. These are skills that are essential.
Like your. Production about thirty years ago i stopped carrying water smd learned to drink water i found it taught me a great deal snout all parts of survival st 75 I still spend lots of weeks in the woods
Man, as a former Boy Scout, and a huge fan of the novel The Hatchet, very much enjoyed this. That and the challenge of bringing what you need down lower is always an interesting prospect. Also that cup holding method is so clean, gotta store that away. Also also glad you show off laying in that lean to; good reminder that it doesn't have to be that much, just enough to cover you. Thanks for the great lessons and video. ^_^
It was the second book I ever read. They made a movie based on it called call of the wild. Problem is there was another movie with the same name that came out at close to the same time
Hi, the Brit Army 58 Pattern Webbing is a very good example of survival furniture with a few additional items that can be picked up in a hurry that can contain everything you need to survive and fight for a week. It’s mostly attached to a belt yet supported by a shoulder weight bearing yoke that allows you to run, crawl and use your weapons without adding to your fatigue state. I have used it in the African bush, Arabian desert and mountains and the Asian jungle. Total faith, saved my bacon on many occasions as it could be adjusted to balance body movements. Cheers mate. Harera
Andrew, building a bowdrill set with the hatchet, something I've been doing for the past couple years. Pretty much all the White Ash here in my part of Indiana is dead, and makes great bowdrill sets and embers! Give it a try. Thank you, have a great day! Steve
Sir, the cordage can be important for securing logs at corners and door of an improvised shelter. Long, thick poplar poles can make a large, quick, sturdy shelter to keep you out of reach of prowling bear. Been there, did that. When possible, I would give first priority of survival tools to a weapon powerful enough to keep me alive and able to use other essential items.
Hypothermia is a bigger risk in my area. A rain cover of some sort, a whistle, and a charged phone would do you more good... but that means relying on others to help 🤔
Another great video. Your bow drill skills are inspiring! In my opinion your channel is the best you tube one stop for basic and advanced survival skills.👍👍
hmm beside the cordage i would say a striker or firer rod (or my first fire choose of fire making tool a f* lighter ;-) , because digging out thin roots or making a rope out of plant fiber is way easier as bow drilling or other fire making methods from scratch.
For cordage on a bow drill, I have been successful in getting it from Spruce roots. Within an hour or less I can get several 5 to 10 foot sections in case one snaps. Always good to have P cord, but if you don’t have…
@@peterbogart4531 you need to get the root about the same diameter as a P-cord, maybe a little bigger. Then strip the outer casing of the root, leaving just the inner root core. Doing a sort of a Nordic track motion with the root semi wrapped around a standing dead tree without bark is good to help loosen the outer cover from the inner root. Or semi smooth tree bark, whatever works. You can use that spruce cordage for tons of stuff. It will dry out if you are carrying around for a long time. But you can rehydrate it by soaking it in water (stream, pond, etc.) overnight.
I love a good hatchet. But I'm in the Green Swamp area of Florida... a good Machete of most any length is a priority. Just a reminder that the terrain you live in will dictate that.
Yep. METT-TC: Mission, Enemy (can be Nature!), TERRAIN, Time you have (or don’t), Troops (friendly) available, and Civilians (so often the worse-off folks).
I'd use some masking tape around the upper hatchet handle, as an additional emergency fire starter and tape some windproof matches and a fish hook. I'd suggest a good survival torch with cordage wrapped around the handle, could even tape a lighter to it.
You can get even more control with the hatchet for small tasks by choking up on it even more. Put two fingers on the head, two on the handle with the thumb around the back to grab the opposite side. If it will be your go-to hatchet, slightly round the back edges of the "hammer" face of the head, to make it more comfortable to hold and push on. It works well for me. It's also a great way to strip off willow bark for tea for pain like headaches or minor injuries. Cheers from a Veteran up here in Alberta, Canada.
It really doesn't seem too hot and definitely not humid (lots of dry wood and tinder you could find there). I also think that fire-making accessories would be so tiny to carry alongside those huge - though great and totally needed - items. Anyway, it's a nice video, and those really are 3 items that can produce others. Awesome bowdrill how-to video!
It's not the number of items that complicate a system, it's the weight. Lighters and matches, basic first aid, compass, life straw, rain poncho, and other essentials combined weigh very little and there's no reason you shouldn't have them.
I agree with you. Going prepared is smarter than worrying about the extra couple pounds of weight we carry. It’s not that exhausting to carry for the day I’ve found. But I’ve been very happy to have a first aid kit ( self constructed of choice items), a Fox40 whistle for signaling and a lighter or waterproof matches for making a fire easily. Together they weigh less than a pound. The value of them? Priceless.
@@davethekonkin My trick is to make basic survival gear EDC, that way my body is used to it. I carry a pack everywhere with over 10# of versatile tools and supplies, enough water for a day and filters, first aid, ammo, poncho, all kinds of carefully selected Macguyver stuff that gets used very frequently. When I go camping my load out is perhaps heavier than most people's, but I'm literally just adding shelter and sleep gear and food to what I already carry and that's pretty much it, so I don't really feel that heavy when fully loaded for overnight trips. A basic 3 season setup is still typically under 25# for me depending on food and water needs, that's including weapons and ammo and a tomahawk and other tools which many people go without. That would have been considered "ultralight" in the old days.
I grew up in Central Virginia it was common for us to take a tomahawk and pocket knife with me whenever I was fishing because some of the places I fished in were out of the way along the James River not only that was a boy scout as well too and I know how to use that tomahawk as well not just for survival but also for defense.
I like your video's because you stick to very basics of survival and you demonstrate how to use them properly! Keep up the good work. Also show video's on snares of all types treacle spring snares to deadfall and spring lines for fishing you and Corporals Corner are the best along with Dave Canterbury
G'day Andrew, an especially good vid mate. Personally, I favor a decent machete as a one tool option, a bit more versatile IMO, but hey, ............. if it splits, chops and carves, .... all good. To be honest I was try'n to think of a more worthy 3rd item instead of cordage, but you got me mate. I have made it from tree roots, vines and some barks and it certainly aint an efficient use of your time and k/joules, and ultimately, yep way more inferior in every respect ..... try doing bow drill with those for example ; ) Speaking of bow drill, admittedly I've never had to use it "in anger", though I do still practice it several times a year with various timbers. Always brings a smile to my dial, ..... I can imagine how stoked one would be in a "true" survival situation. Also, Re; fire lighting, great point on the "Order of Battle" .... so to speak. Cheers Duke.

The bow drill is one of many reasons why I lace my boots with 550 cord. Great vid!!
Any shoe laces can work as good as 550 for a bow drill....
@@greekveteran2715 I agree with you partially. You can’t put as much force and pressure on shoe laces as you can with good cordage. Along with laces now days suck complete garbage.
Iron lace... twice as strong as paracord and will not burn....
I find the knots slip... Perhaps I just walk funny 🤣
@@greekveteran2715 I wish that was true. But standard, chinese-made, shoe laces WILL break on you.
I disagree with those who
don't appreciate having good
rope and cordage.

Love this kind of video! Skills are muscle memory and stored in your brain. With that, we all have the possibility to be survivalist!
Seeing that hatchet paper cutting sharp makes me think we need a proper down and dirty sharpening video...also congrats on the new gloves :-)
Oooo yes Andrew! Please do a sharpening video. Maybe a series???
1654 sir/madam, you probably missed the fact that it was a card he cut. The best sharpened axe cuts paper much thinner than seen in the video.
@@GrowFoodSustainably - It was not a card that Andrew cut, it was a page (paper) from a military/ranger notebook.
A piece of antler is a great bearing block to keep in your kit
Antler or a large limpet shell if you're at the sea shore 👍
